This widow’s name is Maria, she is 79 years old. She lives alone and has physical health problems. Several years ago, her legs stopped walking and she was confined to the bed, and over time, her hearing and vision began to disappear, she really needed diapers and food.

When we first visited her, it was a very unpleasant picture, there was a terrible smell in the apartment, everything was gray and hopeless, we tried to talk to her, but she did not hear us. We just prayed for Maria, left her diapers and food, and left, and this continued for several of our visits. During our last visit to her, Maria met us sitting on the bed, it was a miracle for all of us. I greeted and she said something in return. It was impossible to believe in it, I knelt down to hear her words better and she told us all that she wants to die and dreams about it every new day.

Dreaming about death is the worst thing that can happen in life. I told her that it is better for her to dream of a Jesus who loves her and cares for her through us and that Jesus can meet her in Heaven. After I shared the Gospel with Maria, she said that she wanted to believe in Jesus and said a prayer of repentance.

People who know her illness were surprised at this miracle, because all this time Mary was silent, and today she spoke and believed in the Lord. We continue to take care of Maria and hurry to visit her again to bring diapers and food and also tell her about God.
